DEAN LEONARD H. AXE
Justice Abstains From Libel Case
A justice of the Student Court last week disqualified himself from hearing the University versus FACTS libel suit because he considers himself an interested party.
"I am disqualifying myself from hearing the FACTS-Pach suit, Loy Kirkpatrick, first year law student said in his statement to the Daily Kansas, "because I have been intimately associated with FACTS since its inception, and I feel this is the only ethical thing I can do.
"I hope a justice pro-tem who has not allied himself with any political party will be chosen from among the law students, as there are many law students who have never had affiliation with any political party." Kirkpatrick said.
Chief Justice Kent Shearer, second year law student, said there will be no replacement named for Kirkpatrick. He commented, "This is up to his own discretion. If he feels he'll be in any way biased or prejudiced and wants to remove himself, then I'm 100 per cent for him."

SENIOR RING QUEEN—Charlie Hoag, senior class president, congratulates Frances Hoyt, college senior, after her election to senior ring queen at the dance in the Union Ballroom Friday night. During the presentation Hoag quipped, "I might add Harold Patterson ran alone."
2 Sigma Kappas Chosen Queens
Two members of Sigma Kappa sorority were chosen as queens at dances over the weekend.
Frances Hoyt, college senior, was named "Senior Ring queen" at the all school dance Friday in the Student Union ballroom. Marian Miller, college senior, reigned as queen of the engineers' annual Hobnail Hop Saturation.
Miss Miller was chosen by a faculty committee of the School of Engineering. She was entered in the contest by the engineering physics department. The other candidates represented other departments of the school.

Miss Hoyt was nominated as "Senior Ring" queen by the Sigma Kappas, Choosing of the queen took place at the dance when those attending used their tickets as ballots on which to write their queen choice.
Charlie Hoag, president of the class of '53, sponsors of the dance, crowned Miss Hoyt during the intermission.
Voting in today's special campus referendum election was "awfully light" at 11:30 a.m., about 385 ballots, according to Bob Worcester, engineering sophomore and All Student Council elections chairman.
Polling places which opened at 7:30 and will remain open until 6 p.m. are to be found in Fraser hall, Marvin hall, outside the Hawk's Nest, and in the basement and main floor of Strong hall.
Questions on the ballot ask the voter to either mark against or in favor of a reorganization plan and to express approval or disapproval of abolishing the ASC and transferring its powers to Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
The plan's most radical change would be the switch from a unicameral to a bi-cameral council. A Senate and a House of Representatives would be set up, with members chosen according to school and residence group, respectively.
With the exception of a pair of senators chosen each fall by freshmen, all senators would be elected according to school, with each school's number of senators depending on its enrollment.
Thus, a particular school's number of senators could only be altered through the year by having that school's enroll. . . rise or fall. This would res. in a senate of fairly fixed si. unlike the House of Representa tes, which would vary.
The House would depend on voter participation as its size-determining factor. This could mean that the largest single residence group, unorganized independents, if they went to the polls in great enough numbers, would have the largest number of seats in the House.
Likewise, any of the residence groups, regardless of size, would be guaranteed only one representative if its members did not vote at all.
The functions of the Senate would include finance, auditing, and academic affairs, while the House would deal with student welfare and extra-curricular activities.
Presidential and vice presidential candidates would run in pairs since, being the presiding officers of the Senate and House, respectively, they would probably achieve greater cooperation if both were of the same party.

Blames Dewey Report
Chancellor 'Stunned' by TV Defeat
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy today expressed surprise at the Kansas legislature's killing the appropriations bill for educational TV at the University and Kansas State college, and cited the Dewey commission report on educational TV as the most influential factor in killing the bill.
"I am distressed that it appears that we're not going to be permitted to carry forward our proposed TV program," the chancellor said.
"The Senate committee made it clear that they not only would not appropriate the money, but that they also do not intend to let us use any other funds for the project," he said.
Dr. Murphy said the New York television commission report has been widely circulated and members of the Senate Ways and Means committee have read it.
"The commission evaluated educational TV in the state of New York, and objected to it for three reasons: 1. expense; 2. a feeling against the state's taking over control of a public information device; and (3) the premature planning of such projects with little experience to operate them," Dr. Murphy explained.
The proposed bill called for $450,000 to be divided between the University and Kansas State, which would be matched with $200,000 from the Fund for Adult Education of the Ford foundation in establishing TV stations at both schools.
"The University may petition the Federal Communications commission for a deferment of our June 2 deadline for filing for the TV channel," the chancellor said.
